Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage

158-159

Chapter 158: Holding Hands

"I cannot reconcile with it! I hate it!" Chen Rou Qiu's voice was filled with deep hatred. With her current wan and sallow appearance and her sinister expression when she said those words, even Shen Yue jumped in shock.

Shen Yue said, "Mother, what are you talking about?"

"You have seen this matter too." Chen Rou Qiu gritted her teeth, "Your Father and I were considered congenial to one another originally and had gone through so many things together. I had treated him with all my heart and soul and, even though one did not think that he could spend the rest of the days with me alone, he should not have found such a person to insult me like this. To even chase me out of the house and fight a lawsuit with the Chen family, it has made the Chen family suffer a blow and the Chen family people view me with all kinds of ridicule. It is your Father and Chang Zai Qing who have forced me to such a situation and my reputation in the Ding capital is as an old hen who cannot lay eggs. This is the thing that your Father pays me back with."As Chen Rou Qiu spoke, she sneered, "And that Old Undying One, ever since I married into the Shen family, she had been picking on my faults. This is all because she had a background of a third-rated songstress and could not see others better than her. This time it is her behind pushing the waves between Chang Zai Qing and you Father. Those people in the Shen family, none of them are of any good."

Shen Yue could not help but frown as she felt that Chen Rou Qiu's remarks were somewhat like a shrew on the streets scolding. However speaking of the Shen family, Shen Yue did not have any emotions now.

Sure enough Chen Rou Qiu looked at her and said, "In the beginning when your Father wanted you to marry to the Wang family, I was thinking that it was obvious that you had another person that you liked but your Father coaxed me saying that only the Wang family could protect you thus I agreed to it. Who knew that the Wang family were this kind of people? After they had Shen Dong Ling, they did not acknowledge you, making you lose your identity. This is bullying intolerably! If your Father thought about the ties of a Father and Daughter, he would have stood up for you, but just look at what your Father did? He actually wanted you to apologise to the Wang family and also sit in the same position as Shen Dong Ling. You, an official Di Young Lady of the Shen family, have to sit on an equal position with a Shu daughter. This is just simply going against the entire land under Heavens! Does he ever thought of you as his own daughter?" Chen Rou Qiu's words were all of provocation. Currently Chen Rou Qiu had nothing and no one stood by her side, now that her daughter was found after much difficulty, she feared that Shen Yue would be coaxed by Shen Wan with a couple of words and she would really be all alone. If Shen Yue still stood by her side, Chen Rou Qiu would have a hope.

When Shen Yue heard it, her expression became serious. Speaking of which, it was not that there was no father and daughter ties between her and Shen Wan, but she deeply hated the Shen family as they had used her marriage as a raft and at the end made her unable to return home. It was said that it was for her own good but Shen Yue felt that now she had suffered and not benefited. Even though HuangFu Hao treated her well, she was after all a concubine and even if one was the Crown Prince's concubine, it was still the lowest rank of a Qie that could be thrown away after playing. Moreover the 'other person in her heart' that Chen Rou Qiu mentioned, now there would no longer be any chance with him. She sighed dimly, "Mother, do not speak of these things that have passed. There is no possibility with His Highness Prince Ding. One will no longer think of him in this lifetime. It is likely that one do not have any fate with him." After speaking she laughed bitterly, "Moreover His Highness the Crown Prince treats me very well and I like him too."

Chen Rou Qiu understood her daughter the most so how could she not see the loss that Shen Yue's heart felt? She was so angry and upset that she even hated Fu Xiu Yi. Her daughter was so good so how could she not get what she loved? She took a deep breath, "The Shen family harmed us, Daughter and Mother, till this state and one cannot just let it go simply. Do not worry. Mother will definitely take it out for the both of us, and not one of the Shen family can escape. Since I have been divorced and returned to my maiden family, then one do not have half a relationship with the Shen family thus even if the Shen family fell into trouble, it would not be counted on me. You also do not have the identity of Shen Yue, so you are safe."
